Closeout and document control
Closeout documents, submittals and revisions, chased for you.
Brody asks every subcontractor and supplier for the closeout documents, submittals and confirmations your project still needs, follows up by call, text and email, and files what comes back against the right job and requirement.
In short
Construction closeout software
Construction closeout software tracks every document a project owes the owner at turnover, such as O&M manuals, warranty letters, as-built drawings and attic stock receipts, shows which subcontractor still owes what, and follows up until each item is received and reviewed. Brody by Buildalytic runs that follow-up by call, text and email.
| Collects | O&M manuals, warranty letters, as-builts, attic stock, commissioning and firestop records |
| Follows up on | Submittals, overdue RFIs, drawing and staking revisions, permit corrections, lookahead constraints |
| Channels | Calls, texts and email from your company number |
| Records | Each item filed to its job and requirement; results written to Procore, SharePoint or OneDrive |
What Brody handles
Every document the job still owes, with an owner and a date.
Closeout document collection
Build the list from the spec, ask each sub for its O&M manuals, warranties and as-builts, and track received, reviewed and accepted.
02O&M manuals and warranty letters
Request the right manuals and warranty letters by trade, check what arrived and chase what is missing before turnover.
03Closeout requirements from the specs
Pull closeout requirements out of the specifications so the request list matches the contract.
04Submittal register follow-up
Keep the submittal register current and follow up with subs and reviewers on late items.
05Overdue RFI follow-up
Remind the responsible party about open RFIs and record the answer against the question.
06Drawing and addenda revisions
Confirm every trade has the current drawings and acknowledged each addendum.
07Commissioning and pre-cover readiness
Collect the documents and confirmations needed before commissioning or before work is covered up.
08Civil and specialty records
As-staked reports, underground utility as-builts, firestop and roofing records collected and reviewed.
09Safety and environmental corrective actions
Follow up on JHA and SWPPP corrective actions until each one is closed with evidence.
How it works
From the spec to a complete turnover package.
Build the list
Start from the specification, the submittal log and the subcontract list. Each item gets an owner and a due date.
Ask and remind
Brody contacts each sub and supplier in their language and follows up on the schedule you approve.
Review what arrives
Files are attached to the right job and requirement and flagged for your reviewer. Rejected items go back with the reason.
Hand over
You see what is complete, what is overdue and who owes it, and the record stays in the systems you already use.

Why it matters
Closeout is where retainage waits.
Final payment and retainage release usually depend on a complete closeout package. Every missing warranty letter or O&M manual is a phone call someone has to make, often months after the sub left the site.
Brody makes those calls and texts on a schedule, records every answer and keeps your project manager focused on the decisions only a person should make.
What is the best construction closeout software?
It depends on where the problem is. Tools such as Autodesk (Pype Closeout), Bluebeam, Spec-ID and Closeout Pro organize and compile closeout documents; Autodesk and Spec-ID also send email reminders. Brody by Buildalytic adds phone calls and texts to the subs who still owe documents, in their language, and records each answer.
